Non-Seahawks game of the day

New Orleans (4-0) at Chicago (3-1)

The ‘O’ might go here for the Saints. The Bears are 2-0 at Soldier Field this season, but the Saints have the best regular-season road record in the NFL since 2009 (22-11).

“That’s a place that we’ve struggled. And we’re well aware of that. And we’ve talked a lot in other seasons, if you want to do things you’ve never done before, you have to do things you’ve never done before,” Saints tackle Zach Strief told ESPN.com. “That’s a point of emphasis this week. It’s a good crowd, it’s a team that plays well at home, and it’s a big challenge”

A Saints loss and Seahawks win would leave Seattle as the last unbeaten in the NFC. Lot to take place before that happens.

“But did you know the Indianapolis Colts quarterback is also intense, fiery and, when necessary, profane? You didn’t because you’ve never been in the huddle with him.

Those who have see another side of Luck. The side willing to get in your face, the side that demands nothing less than perfection and the side that runs completely counter to Luck’s public image that even teammates admit is a bit, well, “nerdy.”

“You look at him, and you wouldn’t think some of that stuff could come out of his mouth,” receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey said. “I don’t know if I can repeat some of it.”

My favorite Seahawks moment happened last year on December 30th, 2012. This one play in the 3rd quarter against the Rams cemented this player as my favorite: Golden Tate ran for several extra yards after losing a shoe. I was so excited by the play and the 1st down that I spontaneously yelled out (to the chagrin of my poor husband) “GOLDEN TATE DON’T NEED NO SHOES!” as if he could outrun everyone barefoot. This isn’t true of course, but every time Golden Tate catches a ball, I still yell out, “GOLDEN TATE!”

Again, I expected more of these. We’re going to open this category up a bit to include your favorite Seahawks moment or your all-time starting Seahawks team. Quit slacking off and send me an email: todd.dybas@thenewstribune.com

Recipe of the day:

Since we are in Indiana this week, we’ll go with Justin’s Hoosier Daddy Chili (not to be confused with “Who’s your daddy chili” served at tapings of the Maury Povich Show).

Thanks for all the info Todd, that’s covers just about everything and then some. It looks like it’ll be rainy which plays to our strength on the ground game and it makes the ball harder to catch as well. The weather report is the icing on the cake. Pretty soon i have to get ready so i’ll miss the game chat, good luck to y’all
GO HAWKS!!!

The Seahawks have been outscored 27-10 in the First Half of Road games this year. The Seahawks have outscored their opponents 29-0 after the First Half.

Anyone know if the Colts play more man or zone? Even if it is man, I would think Rice and Tate can get some yards against Toller and the younger brother of Vernon. The Seahawks starting WRs have combined for 25 catches, 313 yards which is pitiful. Excluding the Jaguars game, it falls to 15 catches for 146 yards. At this pace, the 2 starting WRs might not even reach 1000 yards combined!

To me, this is the biggest problem the Offense has. When the QB has time to throw, there is nothing. I would hope the starting WRs can step up and/or we can see more Kearse and Baldwin.

Looks like another Seattle storm front moving in to another NFL city. Seems like we’ve attracted inclement weather for most of this seasons away games. Thunder and lightening, very, very, frightening! Go ‘Hawks!!

Really loved the story from Nancy about her favorite Hawk play! Made my day, especially since it involved my guy Golden Tate. Read that one out loud to my wife and son, they cracked up too! Way to start a morning off right.
